The Visian Candidate
The Visian ICL is a state-of-the-art solution
that’s ideal for anyone with the need or desire for quality
vision correction. Produced by STAAR® Surgical Company, the
Visian ICL has numerous advantages including its correction of
the widest range of myopia, or “nearsightedness.”

After a comprehensive eye examination, the ophthalmologist will
discuss various refractive surgery options including the
implantation of a lens like the Visian ICL, and/or laser
refractive surgery. Based on your correction needs, eye health,
medical history, and desired outcome for refractive surgery,
your eye surgeon will determine if you are a good candidate for
the Visian ICL.

Good candidates for the Visian
ICL include patients who:

Are between the ages of 21 and 45.

Are nearsighted with or without
astigmatism* or farsighted*, including those
with mild, moderate, and severe myopia (as
low as -3D to as high as -20D prescription)
with minor or no occurrence of astigmatism.
The Visian Toric ICL™, capable of correcting
myopia with astigmatism, is currently under
review with the U.S. FDA. The Visian TICL™
is currently available only outside of the
United States.

Have sufficient anterior chamber depth and
acceptable endothelial cell density (this
will be determined by an ophthalmologist
after a comprehensive eye exam).

Have not had a change in their eyeglass
prescription of more than 0.5D in a year.

Are not currently pregnant.

Have no other contraindications including no
known allergies to medications used during
refractive surgery.
